President Joe Biden has joined the estimated 22 million Americans managing sleep apnea with a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine, highlighting the importance of proper treatment for this condition.
Sleep apnea is characterised by intermittent breathing interruptions during sleep, leading to numerous health risks such as cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, eye problems, metabolism issues, liver diseases, and even erectile dysfunction if left untreated.
Sleeping positions can play a role in reducing sleep apnea symptoms, with the left side often recommended to encourage blood flow, reduce snoring, and calm sleep apnea. Other positions such as sleeping on the right side and on the stomach are less effective, while sleeping on the back is generally discouraged.
In addition to sleeping positions, the quality of sleep accessories such as mattresses and pillows can significantly impact sleep apnea management. A good quality mattress and pillow can provide the necessary support and alignment to keep the airway open during sleep.
CPAP masks, like the one used by President Biden, are the most effective treatment for sleep apnea. These devices, worn during sleep, help keep the airway open and provide gentle air pressure. The type of CPAP mask suitable for an individual depends on their specific needs and sleeping position.
The Sleep Advisors, a group of reviewers and content writers specialising in sleep-related products, recommend proper diagnosis and treatment for sleep apnea to improve sleep quality and overall health.
